In a blunt and provocative statement, Jenson Button has criticized Charles Leclerc’s recent performances, suggesting that the Ferrari driver should consider leaving Formula 1. Button’s comments come after Leclerc’s underwhelming showings in the last two races at the Austrian and British Grands Prix.

“HE SHOULD BE OUT,” Button declared angrily during an interview. “Charles has not been performing at the level expected of a Ferrari driver. His performances at the GP Austria and England were disappointing and not up to the standard of someone racing in Formula 1. If he can’t improve, maybe it’s time for him to step aside.”

Button’s harsh remarks reflect the mounting pressure on Leclerc, who has struggled to find consistency this season. At the Austrian Grand Prix, Leclerc finished outside the points, failing to make a significant impact. His performance at the British Grand Prix was similarly lackluster, with errors and strategic missteps contributing to a poor result.

“Racing for Ferrari comes with immense pressure and high expectations,” Button continued. “Charles has shown flashes of brilliance in the past, but recently, he’s been making too many mistakes and not delivering when it counts. Formula 1 is a tough sport, and if you can’t perform, you need to make way for someone who can.”

Leclerc’s recent struggles have been a topic of discussion among fans and analysts. While some acknowledge that Ferrari’s car has not been the most competitive, others argue that Leclerc’s mistakes and lack of consistency are also to blame.

Charles Leclerc has yet to respond to Button’s comments. However, the young driver has been known for his resilience and determination. Despite the criticism, Leclerc remains focused on improving his performance and helping Ferrari return to the top.

Ferrari team principal, Frederic Vasseur, defended his driver, emphasizing the challenges the team has faced this season. “Charles is a talented driver, and we’re confident in his abilities. The entire team is working hard to address the issues we’ve encountered. It’s a collective effort, and we’re committed to getting back to where we belong.”

Fans have taken to social media to express their opinions on Button’s remarks. Some support Button’s candid assessment, while others believe Leclerc deserves more time to prove himself. “Jenson’s right – F1 is about performance, and if Charles can’t deliver, changes need to be made,” one fan tweeted. Another countered, “Leclerc is a great driver going through a tough period. He needs support, not criticism.”

As the Formula 1 season progresses, the spotlight will remain on Leclerc and his ability to bounce back from recent disappointments. The pressure to perform will only intensify as Ferrari and their fans demand better results.

Jenson Button’s criticism of Charles Leclerc and his suggestion that the Ferrari driver should leave F1 due to poor performance in the last two races have added to the scrutiny on Leclerc. As the young driver faces mounting pressure, his response and ability to turn things around will be crucial. The motorsport community will be watching closely to see if Leclerc can overcome this challenging period and reassert his place among the sport’s top competitors.
